The Recruit 20.25" is a brilliant bike for a young rider wanting to get a proper BMX that will take a lot of abuse at the park or pump track. Suited to riders between 9 and 13 years old, 4'7" (140) to 5'7" (170cm) tall.
The Recruit is built with a sealed bearings on the cranks and rear hub so things stay solid and spin smoothly. It also features some of United's premium design aftermarket parts including their Direct Tyres ideal for park or dirt riding.
This bike has a cromoly fork steerer tube which you often only see on higher end bikes. This makes the forks that bit stronger and safer to cope with the demands of landing from heavy drops.
Overall, a great quality starter BMX bike from a UK company.
